Congress and hurling in 4 days a week in JAN/FEB

(Oldest Posts First)

It beggars belief that there does not even seem to be a motion to review the wreckless practice of Fitzgibbon, Munster League, National League and training forl-Ireland club finals in JANUARY,AND FEBRUARY rather than JULY , AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER.
Ditto for similar competitions in hurling and football in all four provinces.

Shows complete disregard for the people without whom the show could not go on, that is THE PLAYERS ON THE PITCH.
Time for Cardinals of Croke Park to wake up and "smell the coffee" and have some "meat and potato " discussions on dysfunctional and dangerous playing schedule of mostly lame agenda that now masquerades as an attempt to show concern and improve the system.

Wexford's Liam Griffin 'Aim is get a fixtures programme in place' -
CPA fixtures co-ordinator Liam Griffin has described the GAA's decision not to allow them an opportunity to address delegates at Congress this weekend as "very disappointing."
The former All-Ireland hurling winning manager told Newstalk's Off The Ball programme last night that the main aim for the club players' body was to try and improve the current fixtures programme.
"It's very disappointing. We're all members of the Association. Every single one of us are volunteers," Griffin stated.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I can't imagine anyone in a position of authority standing in front of 20,000 players in a stadium saying, 'We're not going to listen to you folks'.
"But we're not going to be deflected from where we want to go. Our main aim is not to speak to Congress but to get a fixtures programme in place.
"I'm pleased the GPA have come out in the same way, as they represent another side of the players. All of the players have come out (against 'Super 8')."
